I reserved mine from Rich Pinto back in Nov 2K and when he shipped it to me a few days ago it was the last one he had. The main reason I went for the motor rather than the rapid winder is that it gives you the option of mounting the motor-driven camera onto a tripod or monopod - which you cannot do with a rapid winder. Also, I do a lot of my photography portrait format, which I don't consider the RW is really designed to do. BTW, the motor is yet to arrive. Tracking the FedEx shipment on their www site is pretty interesting: so far it has gone from NYC to Memphis to Honolulu and now back to Memphis again...
